Ana Bravo-Pérez is an artist and filmmaker born and raised in Pasto, Andean-Amazonian Piedmont in Abya Yala. Her work draws on migration, memory and violence. She uses her own migratory and diasporic experiences as a starting point for her artistic projects investigating suppressed narratives and collective histories. Her experiences have been crucial for building an artistic practice in which personal, decolonial and geopolitical questions merge. An important theme in her work is how to deal with violence visually without representing it, so it can heal colonial wounds instead. Bravo-Pérez works with coal, cotton, gold, and plants like coca and toquilla to investigate colonial legacies and continued exploitation in the present-day.
